The Crown is being refurbished and the new owners seem friendly and keen to make changes, however I think it is very over priced for what it is.

This odd town that's sort of stuck in a time warp - most of the shops are independent and there's only one pub in the centre (excluding the Conservative Club, of course) - has its charms and its eccentricities. This is equally true of the Crown that sits in the Market Square. Lovely people, good ales, cheap prices, 16th century... More

A wedding brought us to stay here and our party took about half the hotel. There appear to be 18 bedrooms in all. It's a delightful inn, set in a prime position in the small town square. The staff are lovely - they can't do enough for you and yet never get in the way. The breakfasts were superb with... More

We stayed here for two nights in March and enjoyed it very much. Very warm reception and the rooms were large and comfortable. A little expensive, but would stay again. The breakfast was fast and very tasty. We also had dinner here and it was also very good. The hotel is located right in the middle of town on the... More

We had a three night stay and yes we had a problem with our bathroom but felt that the manager dealt with it quickly and efficiently and he was most helpful. We found all the staff very efficient especially Tess who was delightful and very good at her job, infact she was running about Friday evening as the pub was... More

`Dear oh dear were do I start. Although this place is supposed to be a hotel the decor is shabby and tired and the bar resembles a down market, public bar. The whole place needs badly renovating, including the manager/proprietor who is definetly in the wrong job. The menu looked so poor we didnt eat dinner there and went to... More

Winter lunch at the Crown, with its nest of small spaces warmed by real fiures, should be good. But the food is indifferent, and the staff let it down badly. There is no one to greet you when you go in, but if you go to the bar an unfriendly little jobsworth will eventually turn up to serve you a... More

Called into the Crown - our local hote, l for a spot of lunch on ~Saturday. There were a couple of tables free but they we not cleared and were dirty with the last customers crumbs etc. we sat down at a dirty table but after ten minutes it looked as though it could be a very long drawn out... More

Popped in for lunch with a friend after a trip to Framlingham Castle. Was worried it was too posh, needn't have worried. The barman had those dreadful stretched earlobe earrings in. The Aspall cider was ok, but not at it's best. Sat at a dirty table overlooking the courtyard. We both thought the prices were reasonable, but then the food... More
